The Christian God Doesn't Hate Gays

[Jack]

it says in Revelation to never add or remove anything from This Book.

Since the Bible had yet to be assembled when that was written, which book does it refer to? The theologians I've read tend to agree it refers to the book of Revelation only.

Why would God choose which people were homosexual and which weren't if he stated it to be a sin?

The Bible only mentions homosexual-like activity. 2000 years ago people didn't know about homosexual orientation (or germs, sanitation or a host of other things). The Bible addresses behaviors, not orientations.

That's exactly why the bible isn't "always true" One of the two statements must be false. Then, if something is false within the bible, it opens the door to the possibility of more flaws.

But it doesn't matter. God put what He wanted to have in the Bible.

God can do All things. He can undoubtably see into the future - which could have been one of the reasons for writing this specific part.

No, because Christians KNOW that the Bible is True and that God is Perfect.

Then think about Halofan's statement. How can the Bible still be right regardless of what Christians know?

There's my problem...I could only believe in a god with x-ray vision.

I'll stick with the contemplations of theologians over extemporized supposition. Especially since Christianity is only a subject of interest to me, not belief.

Because the Bible is True at All times - again through Faith, Belief, etc.

Then I will Pray that you will see the Truth.

Then answer your own question. If homosexuals do exist, then why would God make them? Does he want to see them suffer and sin?

[Jack]

Too late. I used to be a Christian. I saw what Christians call the "truth" then. Now I see a different, more natural, less absolute truth. Spare me your prayers. Use your time more productively.

God - again did not make homosexuals - they chose to be homosexual.

There is still time until the final end that has been stated in Revelation. It is productive.

[Jack]

they chose to be homosexual.

And that assertion is based on...what exactly?

[Will_00]

The fact that God is Perfect and would be able to promote sinful related things.

And he would want to promote sinful things that he considers sinful.. for what reason?

[Jack]

I only see men saying what should be considered sinful or not. Where is there any indication that there's a god behind their pronouncements?

Sooner or later you're going to respond to this post..

You cannot - "put the Bible aside" It is Always Existent and Always True.

Christianity wants you to think so. It is flaws such as this condemnation of homosexuality that reveal its true nature.

Why would God choose which people were homosexual and which weren't if he stated it to be a sin?

That is the question. If God were to really exist, how could he make people homosexual and condemn them to hell?

God can do All things. He can undoubtably see into the future - which could have been one of the reasons for writing this specific part.

So he could see into the future and still condemned homosexuality?

No, because Christians KNOW that the Bible is True and that God is Perfect.

No, Christians think they know that the bible is true and that God is perfect.

Because the Bible is True at All times - again through Faith, Belief, etc.

Your belief in it does not necessarily make it true. Beliefs can and often are false.

God - again did not make homosexuals - they chose to be homosexual.

I myself am gay, and I can tell you that it is not a choice.

And he would want to promote sinful things that he considers sinful.. for what reason?

Excuse me I meant that He would NOT be able to promote sinful related things.

I only see men saying what should be considered sinful or not. Where is there any indication that there's a god behind their pronouncements?

Because God put what He wanted into the Bible.

Christianity wants you to think so. It is flaws such as this condemnation of homosexuality that reveal its true nature.

How so?

That is the question. If God were to really exist, how could he make people homosexual and condemn them to hell?

Because He does not create homosexuals, He creates people that choose to become homosexual.

So he could see into the future and still condemned homosexuality?

Again, he does not create homosexuals.

No, Christians think they know that the bible is true and that God is perfect.

No, Christians KNOW that the Bible is True.

Your belief in it does not necessarily make it true. Beliefs can and often are false.

Of course certain "beliefs" are false. But Christians KNOW that It is True.

I myself am gay, and I can tell you that it is not a choice.

No, of course it is a choice. All things are a choice, except being born.

[Lullaby Chainer]

Will. PLEASE respond to my 3rd or 4th attempt at reaching through to you.. why are you hiding?

[Jack]

No, of course it is a choice. All things are a choice, except being born.

OK, so when did you choose to be straight?

[Halofan48]

Or better yet, when did you choose your hair color?

look, most homosexuals say it's not a choice. So, who am i going to believe? The huge amounts of homosexuals who say it's not a choice and would know. Or the few people who say it is a choice and are often homophobic? Gee, i wonder

[Piscean]

Some "religions" have done so, but True Christianity does not - as it says in Revelation to never add or remove anything from This Book.

Are you actually naive enough to believe that because it says that in revelation men haven't changed it?
